ICAO UNIVERSAL SAFETY OVERSIGHT AUDIT PROGRAMME (USOAP) CONTINUOUS MONITORING APPROACH (CMA) USOAP AIG EFFECTIVE IMPLEMENTATION(EI) AAIB MALAYSIAN EXPERIENCE 20thDecember 2018
SUMMARY What is ICAO USOAP CMA? Scope and conduct of Audit Audit areas/ Critical Elements Audit preparation Conduct of audit Sharing of AAIB Malaysia Audit findings Corrective action plan State Safety Concern
USOAP CMA The approach for USOAP audits is based on: the implementation of a structured process and methodology for the planning, preparation, conduct, reporting, follow-up and evaluation of ICAO safety oversight audits, in order to determine State capability for safety oversight.
AUDIT AREAS Aircraft Operations Annexes 2, 6, 18, 19 & PANS-OPS Airworthiness of Aircraft Annexes 6, 7, 8, 16 & 19 Personnel Licensing Annexes 1 & 19 Organization & Safety Oversight Functions SAAQ Legislation and Regulations Chicago Convention & Annexes 2 & 19 Effective State Safety Oversight System Accident & Incident Investigation Annexes 13 & 19 Air Aerodromes Annexes 14 & 19 Navigation Services Annexes 2,3,4,5 10,11,12,15, 19 & PANS-ATM
SCOPE/CONDUCT OF AUDIT Based on ICAO Doc 9735 and MOU signed between Malaysia and ICAO Covers 8 audit areas: LEG, ORG, PEL, OPS, AIR, AIG, ANS, AGA Protocol Questions are main tools used for conduct of audit Each PQ is linked to one of 8 critical elements (CEs) of State s safety oversight system Effective Implementation (EI) is indication of State s capability for safety oversight
CRITICAL ELEMENTS (CEs) CE-1 Primary aviation legislation CE-2 CE-3 Specific operating regulations State civil aviation system & safety oversight functions CE-5 Technical guidance, tools & provision of safety-critical information CE-4 Technical personnel qualifications & training ESTABLISH IMPLEMENT CE-6 Licensing, certification, authorization and/or approval obligations CE-7 Surveillance obligations CE-8 Resolution of safety concerns
AUDIT PREPARATION Completion/updates of the State Aviation Activity Questionnaire (SAAQ): Completion/updates of the Compliance Checklist (CCs) through the Electronic Filing of Differences (EFOD) System; Completion/updates of the USOAP CMA protocol Questionaires
CONDUCT OF AUDIT: PQs Protocol Questions (PQs) Standardize conduct of audits to ensure transparency, quality and reliability Not satisfactory PQ is reflected in LEI Evidence-based approach: Show me Lack of evidence = PQ finding Over 10,000 SARPs in the CC/EFOD database (in the 19 ICAO Annexes) (Annex 13 120 SARPs) A total of 1099 PQs (AIG 109 PQs)
Protocol Question Example ICAO Reference

DRAFT REPORT The Draft Report is the first ICAO official report of the audit. It is submitted to the State within 90 calendar days after the audit closing meeting. The State has 45 days to comment on the draft report.
FINAL REPORT The Final Report is the official report of the audit. It supersedes the Draft Report that has been distributed earlier. It is sent to the State within 30 calendar days after the State has submitted to ICAO its comments on the draft audit report.
CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN Should address ALL the findings contained in the final Audit Report. Provide specific actions and time-lines for the resolution of each of the findings. Indicate the officer responsible for each action. States are encouraged to use the State Corrective Action Plan Template developed and provided by ICAO for this purpose.
STATE SAFETY CONCERN A significant safety concern occurs when the audited State allows the holder of an authorization or approval to exercise the privileges attached to it, although the minimum requirements established by the State and by the Standards set forth in the Annexes to the Chicago Convention are not met, resulting in an immediate safety risk to international civil aviation. Implications to States with SSC !
AAIB CHALLENGES Qualified Technical Personnels Legislations/Regulations Budget for training and equipment State level accident and incident database.
